Cramton Bowl is a 25,000 seat stadium located in Montgomery, Alabama. Cramton Bowl opened in 1922 as a baseball stadium and has been home to Major League Baseball spring training, as well as minor league baseball. Today, however, its primary use is for American football. Cramton Bowl is the home stadium for the Faulkner University Eagles of the NAIA's Mid-South Conference and the host of the annual Camellia Bowl for the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, as well as hosting Montgomery's five high school squads. It previously was home to the Blue-Gray Football Classic, an all-star game usually played on Christmas Day, the Alabama State Hornets football team, and hosted the first ever football game played under the lights in the South.〔(City of Montgomery, website )〕 ==Stadium history==
Cramton Bowl is named for Fred J Cramton, a local businessman who donated the land on which the stadium is built.〔"City Dads Accept Cramton Bowl Gift", ''Montgomery Advertiser'', February 9, 1921.〕 After a conversation with friends about the need for a baseball stadium, Cramton donated his sanitary landfill to the city so a facility could be constructed there. The City held the land for a time and then returned it, stating that Cramton’s stadium idea was too big of a project for the City to undertake. Cramton then decided to take matters into his own hands; with the help of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Cramton raised $33,000 to build the now iconic sports venue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Cramton Conversion )〕
